Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0229202A1] Modern subsea wells utilise an electrohydraulic control system which switches hydraulic power to various control components in dependence on received control signals. The mounting and interconnection of the control components tends to be complicated. The invention provides a manifold comprising a first manifold body (6) having a number of openings and flow passageways therethrough. The manifold body is selectively configurable by selecting predetermined openings in order to achieve a desired configuration of flow passageways between control devices (1, 2, 13, 4). The manifold simplifies the interconnection of the hydraulic components and provides greater flexibility in the location of the components. Preferably, the manifold body also provides a platform for mounting the control devices.
